Part 37

The fleet was going wild with celebration. Not since the Pegasus had appeared had there been such great joy.

Adama dressed with care as he wanted to show proper respect for his 's Arian's

Uncle. The man was a legend and he deserved respect. Adama headed watched as his beloved dressed rapidly. She clearly was eager to greet her uncle. The Prince had been amused at seeing them together which made Adama wonder if he had always known of his affection for Arian? It mattered little now except perhaps he could gain her families blessing for their union.

Arian changed her outfit and hoped she looked presentable. She was very fond of her uncle and wished to reflect well on him and the family. While it was true she was a priestess she did not openly flaunt this fact when out and about. She wanted to help Adama not give the council cause to cause mischief. So she dressed with care. She looked respectable. With a sigh she wished she could wear a more comfortable outfit but protecting Adama had to come first so classical dress was essential.

"You worry to much. Come it will be a poor greeting if we are late to meet Prince Zechariahs."

"I am done. Let us go. Athena has dinner well in hand. Oh Adama I can not believe that my Uncle is still alive. The lords have blessed me. I just hope that he and Cassie can forgive me for my deception."

"They will for the same reason I will. We all love you Arian." Adama said softly. He went to her side and hugged her and kissed her lightly. He took her hand and they headed to greet her Uncle. It was going to be wonderful to have someone more ships to help defend the fleet. Adama had no doubts that the Prince would offer to help them out. His people were honorable and it was in all of their best interests to join forces. Together they would make it harder on the Cylons to destroy what was left of both civilizations. He just hoped that they had news of the other fleets and perhaps of this region of space. Adama hated flying blind.

Cain was feeling wonderful as he entered the meeting with his counterparts. The news that they may have found the path to Earth would boost morale. Now all they had to do was find t he colonial fleet.

Tolan listened with a broad smile as Cain gave them the news. He looked around and noted that his comrades were clearly as pleased as he and Cain. It was more then clear that all of them wanted to find a safe place and allies for their people. While they had been able to leave many on Paradeen it was not the most ideal of solutions long term. Earth might well be the ally they needed to find so that they could finally take the fight to the Cylons.
"Commander this news is most welcome. Our patrol have still not located traces of the Galactica and the Fleet. I think we should double them." Tolan offered.

Cain leaned back. This was the one thing that had him most concerned. They should have found some trace by now.

"Is it possible that we have missed them?" Gavin asked,

"I do not know. There is that possibility of course that they changed speed. The course however will always come back to this heading. Even this new information we have discovered lies along this path." Cain replied.

"Perhaps we should send out larger patrols. It would not do to miss them. I can not believe that they will have totally escaped Cylon notice." Stolen stated. "Perhaps I could take a heading parallel to the one we are now on and Tolan could break off as well we could then merge again in a few cycles. Darius and Cain could maintain this heading and see what we find. We could stay in communication range but extend our patrols and sensor sweeps."

"The idea is sound Stolen but remember Tolan is leading a Cylon group. That could scare off Adama's people." Cain said.

"Well then it will have to be Stolen and I who do the scouting." Darius offered. "I think it be best in any case as our ships are far better armed. We could each take two escort ships leaving the remaining fleet with Cain for Safety."

Cain frowned but realized that the plan was sound. While it was true that they had left many civilians behind at Paradeen they still had a lot of civilian ships. "That is a wise course of action. Though I hope you all do not forget to come back."

The others laughed at this and the meeting went on with deeper more detailed plans being worked out.
